Richard Paul has a wide-ranging international experience as a Partner with Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and has managed large teams of architects on major schemes worldwide.

Richard championed the design of Tower 3, a 75-storey mixed-use office building at the heart of the World Trade Center redevelopment in New York. He was also involved in the design evolution of Canary Wharf Riverside South, the new European Headquarters for a major investment bank.

Richard has a well-recognised reputation for outstanding leadership and innovation. He promotes excellence in the design of sustainable architecture which fundamentally underpins the RSHP design philosophy.
